So i got a Gentle Typhoon 120mm used for about 2-3 years recently it is creating alot noise, any solutions for it? I tried dropping the speed already and the noise is still there.

Thanks in advance.

I tried old and grease. Oil only lasted a few days and the noice came back. High temp grease lasted a few weeks. Don't waste the effort, just get a new fan.

Lubricant is useless if there's metal deposits
See if its feasible to change the bearing or flush with lighter fluid(provided its not fully sealed)
